Yeah , to the naked eye it's clean ! But under high magnification it's rough as guts .
Yeah , I needs a higher resolution camera !

Looks like a cleaner edge ..

Diamond is always going to RIP steel ..
The wet N dry sand paper gets smooth quickly with use ..
The wet N dry was used on two knives previously only sharpened with diamond . ( All my knives were sharpened with diamond or the whetstone grinder )
It would need a lot of sharpening to remove the diamond grooves , wet N dry is ...... It works on bevels that are in good condition .
I would not want to wet N dry a well abused edge .
I might have to try again in a more controlled fashion = 1 knife .
